THE ALL-NEW AIRUSH DYNEEMA LOAD FRAME FEATURING WEBTECH IS THE KEY TO HAVING THE LIGHTEST KITES ON THE MARKET AND NOT COMPROMISING ON DURABILITY.

WE ACHIEVE ALL OF THESE WEIGHT SAVINGS WHILE STILL USING OUR LEGENDARY TECHNOFORCE D2 BY TEIJIN AND DIMENSION POLYANT LEADING EDGE AND STRUT MATERIAL.

INTERGRATED DYNEEMA

CENTRAL TO THE CONCEPT OF THE LOAD FRAME ARE THE LIGHTWEIGHT DYNEEMA YARNS, WHERE EACH SINGLE YARN CAN CARRY ALMOST 40KG OF LOAD. THESE ARE INTEGRATED INTO THE CANOPY THROUGH A REINFORCED TAPING THAT ALLOWS THEM TO ELONGATE WHEN UNDER EXTREME LOAD, ABSORBING MOST OF THE SHOCK THAT TRADITIONALLY WOULD HAVE RUN THROUGH THE CANOPY. AT THE SAME TIME, THEY CARRY THE PRIMARY LOAD OF THE CANOPY, PREVENTING STRETCH AND INCREASING LONG-TERM PERFORMANCE.

TECHNOFORCE D2

THIS PREMIUM FABRIC IS USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE DYNEEMA LOAD FRAME FOR THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION OF DURABILITY AND PERFORMANCE. ONGOING TESTING HAS HIGHLIGHTED THE LOWEST STRETCH AND UV STABILITY, ALONG WITH THE HIGHEST LONG-TERM RELIABILITY OF ANY FABRIC AVAILABLE.
